Charlie Brown's looking mighty expressive here. Later on, he'd be more likely to just suffer with a sigh instead of complaining about it.

CB's name has been, by far, the most mentioned among the strip's meager cast so far, which is weird because it's the longest. It's interesting that now, over 50 years after this strip's original publication, you could use "Charlie Brown" as an insult and people would generally know what you meant.

I wonder what made Schulz decide that Charlie Brown should never be called just "Charlie." Has that ever happened, ever? I don't recall ever seeing it. ("Chuck" and "Charles," sure, but never "Charlie.")
